had a few more days on the car and its starting to come together! am hoping to get the car to mnr in the net couple of weeks for drive shafts to be made up and pre IVA work to be done. as well as a mapping session at daytuner. the buddyclub rear exit exhaust system is also coming on and is ready for welding! side markers wired to front arches, and seats and harnesses mounted.
take a look in my blog underneath if anyones interested!

we tend not to fix bottom of nose cone to allow movement if you touch a curb or speed bump....having said that car is looking well hope i will be at mnr when it comes up

the brackets are only 2mm alloy so they are not completely rigid! they just stop it wobbling really. cheers iain,will be good to catch up and have a beer or 3!

am afraid not mate.^^ and thanks for the help the other day re the evap system. i have by-passed it all today. its embarrasing to say as an electrician but the wiring on this loom is truly mind boggling! not from a wiring poin of view but mechanically.
i am not familiar enough with the mechanics of certain items,and how they work to even consider wiring it up, most of the lighting circuits are in, as well as brake fluid level,lambda,fuel pump snd level sender, but the items such as modifry yellow jacket speedo healer,and modifry ect guage displays are probably better left to the experts. these require a 5v supply and i dont fancy putting 12v down them and frying them. especially when they are so expensive. they are especially designed to work with the AEM ECU!
